THE JAPANESE WOULD LIKE TO FORCE A DE- CISIVE BATTLE. In Manchuria, but Fear Kuropat- kin Will Retreat--Stores Go- ing Northward From Mulkden --Japanese Occupy Island of Saghalien. Special to the Whig. St. Petersburg, March 3.~In a long despatch from: Gen. Kuropatkin, which mander-in-chief of the army in Man churia gives details of various attacks by the Japanese during the last few days, and a Mukden despatch, receiv. ed at midnight, indicates a continua: tion of the artillery duel, but neither report throws any light upon the ru- mored intention of Gen. Kuropatkin to withdraw northward, which has een the gossip of St. Petasburg for the last two days, A special despatch, received last night, concludes with this significant' sentence : "Within two weeks Vou may expect great events," The position of Gen. Kuropatkin's army i¢ regarded as being more or less critical. The real turning wovement which Gen. Kuroki is operating in the mountains forty miles eastward of Mukden, scems to be making pro gress, and at the same time Field Marshal Ovama is also rolling Lack the Russian left, while pounding away at the centre with heavy high-power guns. Poutilof and Novorgod Hills have been subjected to a continuous three dav bombardment. followed by an infantry attack, the main Russian lines being forted to retire two miles to their shelter trenches. Some of the Russian newspaper correpondents an- ticipate an attempt to take the hills by storm. : While the Japanese are evidently making progress, there ix nothing vet to ine te that Field Marshal Ovama will succeed in inflicting a decisive blow, even if he forces Kuropatkin to abandon Mukden. According to the re ports current," which are not, however, confirmed bv the war office, the with drawal of stores and supplies, north ward from Mukden, is already well under way. Tokio says it is reported that the Japanese have occupied the Island of Saghalien. A despatch from Tokio, to the Daily Telegraph, states that the Japanese are endeavoring to force a decisive battle in Manchuria, but that it is feared that Gen. Kuropatkin will re- treat, fighting a rear guard action. Japanese Active on Right. Tokio, March 3.--Advices from the headquarters armies in Manchuria show that the Japanese activity on the extreme right continues; that wing is pressing forward and is dislodging the Russians A despatch from headquarters says : "Our force in the Singking (Yenden) lirection, after occupying Tsing hoe hang (Tsinkhetchen) is now pursu- ing the coemyv northward.
